directly in political acti-vities
on the campus.
The first activity is a presenta-tion
of the candidates in the chapel
on Monday. On Monday evening,
the senate will meet. Bruce Leaf-blad,
senate president, encourages
all students to attend. On Tuesday,
national politics will be especially
emphasized. The topic of The
Forum in the evening will be
on liberalism vs. conservatism.
Thursday evening, candidate's
speeches will be given at a rally
in the fieldhouse and the Royal
Realist and Independent party
platforms presented. The election
will be held on Friday and the
student senate urges all to vote.
John Carlson, vice-president of
the senate, stated that he is in-vestigating
the possibility of us-ing
voting machines for the elec-tion
as an educational measure.
Seminary Sends
Delegates to
Interseminary
Movement
On Nov. 25-26, seminary stu-dents
Bill MacKinney and John
Hoeldtke represented Bethel sem-inary
at a meeting of the Midwest
Region Interseminary movement
held at the National Methodist
Theological seminary in Kansas
City.
This movement, which is part
of a National Seminary movement,
is a movement of students and
faculty sponsored by the Inter-seminary
committee of the Nation-al
Student Christian federation. Its
purpose, as stated in the constitu-tion,
is "to provide opportunity
for students and faculty of Chris-tian
theological seminaries to (dis-cuss)
matters of mutual interest
in order to pursue the full mis-sion
of the Church of Jesus Christ
and to seek greater unity in this
world mission."
The theme at the Kansas City
meeting was "The Ministry of the
Church in Modern Society." At
this time also, a constitution was
adopted.
At the most recent meeting, held
March 3-5 in Chicago, the theme
was "The Ministry-Livelihood or
Servitude ? "
Meetings of the I. M. are held
three times annually and are at-tended
by both the members and
observers. At present, the semin-ary
at Bethel does not have a
membership in it but is consider-ing
such for the future.
Launching an original effort in
the area of planned and informal
discussion of current interests in
social, political, educational, and
religious life, the student senate
has initiated THE FORUM. This
series of evening gatherings is de-signed
to promote greater inter-action
between students and fac-ulty.
To be considered on Tuesday
night during Political Emphasis
week is the topic of "Conserva-tism
and Liberalism in Politics."
Expressing views on alternate
sides of the proposition will be
Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom and Mr.
Marvin Anderson, both of the de-partment
of history and political
science.
Other topics that will be exam-ined
in the scheduled programs
are "Moral Disarmament" discus-sed
by the Rev. Curtis Crawford,
national known pacifist who is
currently on a lecture tour (March
23); "Archeology and the Old
Testament" by Dr. Anton Pearson
(April 4); a book review of Back-grounds
to Dispensationalism by
the author, Dr. Clarence Bass
(April 13); "Art and Religious
Symbolism" presented by Mr. Eu-gene
Johnson and Mr. Robert Nel-son
(April 20); "A Christian View
of Missions" led by Mr. Claude
Stipe (April 27).

The simple, frank observations
and inner thoughts of a school-girl
who confided in her diary
over a period of two years have
resulted in her becoming not only
the heroine of one of the most
brilliantly successful plays of the
last twenty years, but also in be-coming
an international symbol of
tolerance and understanding be-tween
people.
This play, The Diary of Anne
Frank by Frances Goodrich and
Albert Hackett is based on the
real diary a Jewish girl kept while
she was hiding out with her fam-ily
from the Nazis in Holland dur-ing
World War II, the play not
only has had a phenominal success
in New York and all over Amer-ica,
but also throughout the world.
In Germany itself the play
created sensational interest when
first presented there in 1957. That
the sweet and sunnily-disposition-ed
girl of the play blithely hiding
from imminent arrest and death
at the hands of the Nazis, was
actually arrested at the end of
two years of seclusion, and then
died in a concentration camp just
a few weeks before the Allied
Anne Frank, played by Judy E.
Carlson, gives her father, John
Quam, a big hug as he gives her
the famous diary.
Armies liberated that part of Ger-many,
seemed a personal accusa-tion
to thronging German audien-ces
who were so stunned at the
end of each performance that they
forgot to applaud.
In consequence the dramatization
of her diary became the most
popular play in the history of the
German stage. To see it, became
for many Germans a ceremonial of
penitence and confession—a point
of national remorse. The diary of
the young Jewish girl has also
been read in book form and is very
well liked.
Judy E. Carlson heads the cast
in the role of Anne. Supporting
her will be John Quam as Mr.
Frank; Sandra Entz, Mrs. Frank;
Ann Embry, Margot Frank; Rich
Nelson, Peter Van Daan; Arnold
Doerksen, Mr. Van Daan; Carole
Lundquist, Mrs. Van Daan; Nor-man
Rediger, Mr. Dussel; Deme-ter
Filuk, Mr. Kraler; Peggy
Leunk, Miep. Richard Curtis, as-sociate
professor of speech, is ad-visor
of the group and Mary Lou
Wick is in charge of the play.
The Royal Players are present-ing•
the play on March 10 and 11
at 8 p.m. at the fieldhouse. Admis-sion
costs are students, $.50; gen-eral,
$1; children under 12, $.50;
and groups (ten or more), $.50
apiece.

We the Students . . . 1 or Should the
Constitution Read 'We the Few'?
by James Spickelmier
"We, the students .. . recogniz-ing
the importance of co-curricu-lar
activities as an aspect of our
educational experience, do hereby
join ourselves together and estab-lish
this association for the pur-pose
of promoting better co-ordi-nation
of these activities, and a
closer relationship between the
student body and the administra-tion
and faculty."
This is the beginning of the
preamble to our Bethel student
association constitution, "We, the
students . . ." As a campus and
as a student government, we are
too often guilty of rewriting the
preamble to read; "We, the few
. .." Our senate works throughout
the year on issues of importance
to the entire student body, with-out
many on our campus realizing
that there is a functioning stu-dent
government. As a campus
body, we should be aware of the
activities of the student senate.
The last senate meeting was
held Feb. 27, in the faculty lounge.
One of the items of more general
interest was the report on the
fieldhouse curtain project. The
junior, sophomore, and freshman
class presidents reported that their
classes had voted to divide the
remaining cost ($119) for the
fieldhouse curtain. Through the
cooperation of these classes, Home-coming
profits, and the senior class
gift, a curtain will be installed in
the fieldhouse this spring, to pro-vide
more adequate facilities for
convocations, graduation, concerts,
and drama productions.
The senate set up a committee
to deal with the very practical
problem of student parking. An in-crease
in the number of cars on
campus, coupled with our limited
parking facilities, has brought the
problem of traffic control to the
attention of the administration and
the senate. Will it be necessary
to limit the number of cars on
campus? Feeling that the students
should have a voice in traffic regu-lation,
a senate committee was set
up to seek possible solutions.
Peggy Leunk from the Spire
staff has been working with the
student senate in trying to obtain
better student pictures for next
year. The senate and the Spire
are interested in improving the
quality of the pictures, while still
retaining reasonable prices.
Unsatisfied with limiting their
efforts to the present, practical
questions, the senate has attempt-ed
to plan for the future also. Two
items in the last meeting will have
important significance in years to
come.
First, the senate is going
through an active program of self-evaluation.
There is a desire that
student government might repre-sent
the students in the most ac-curate,
efficient way. The basic
areas of concern are stated in the
motion beginning official consid-eration
of senate reorganization.
These areas are as follows: "1.
How to improve the function of
student government on campus. 2.
How to broaden the base of repre-sentation.
3. How to unify the
direction of the educational pur-poses."
A discussion with Gary Cook,
the architect working with Bethel's
expansion program, was the clos-ing
item of business.
"We, the students . . ." Is our
student body aware of the activi-ties
of student government? Are
they interested in becoming a-ware?
Perhaps we need to change
our mottos from "apathetic" to
"energetic," and "conformed" to
"informed."
An open invitation is extended
to all students to sit in on senate
meetings. The next meeting is
scheduled for March 13.
'God Expects Nothing . . . Every Demand
On Me is A Demand On His Life in Me'
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
ON 1-`? GLUE GIVE YOU I5 THAT IT CAME
FROM 11-15 CAFET5IZIA."
Editorial:
Are Students Blind to
The 3 % Interest Rate?
Are students being deceived by the interest rate on loans being
contracted in the student affairs office or are they all intelligent
enough to read the "fine print" and ask enough questions to discover
what the interest rate really is ?
When a Bethel student receives a $300 loan in Feb. he signs a
promissory note agreeing to pay the loan plus a three per cent per
anum interest rate and a three dollar service charge by the due date
of Aug. 1. There is nothing upsetting about this except that three
per cent per anum on a six month loan immediately becomes six per
cent plus the three dollar service charge equals eight per cent of the
loan.
It seems that in a school such as Bethel, matters such as this
should be made obvious to the student body. Why not tell the students
what the Bethel rate really is ?
What Kind of Leadership Does
Bethel Need--Popular or Responsible?
One week from tomorrow the members of the Bethel Student assoc-iation
will go to the polls and cast their votes for the candidates whom
they wish to give the responsibility of leading our student governmnent
in the coming year. Perhaps it would be well for all of us to once again
consider the qualities of true leaders, or better yet—what kind of
leadership does Bethel need ?
Bethel needs student leaders who are concerned that all we do is
centered in Jesus Christ. Someone once said that for the Christian all
things in life take on value and meaning only as they relate to the king-dom
of God. A good student leader senses the constant need to evaluate
in light of this standard and to strive to make all of our programs,
activities, and the like truly Christian.
Bethel needs mature leaders. There is no place for goof-offs, anti-intellectuals,
pseudo-intellectuals, mere office-seekers, or any other
type of immature people in student government. The Bethel Student
association deserves the finest in social, intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual maturity in its leaders.
Bethel needs student leaders who desire to be servants. Student
government is no place for people who are not willing to give hours of
time, thought, and energy in the service of the student body. A good
student leader wants to serve his fellows—even to the point of per-sonal
sacrifice.
Bethel needs able leaders. Ability to lead meetings, express ideas
clearly, think through problems thoroughly and objectively, work close-ly
with people, delegate responsibilities to others, and sense student
needs and problems are among requirements of able leaders.
Bethel needs experienced leaders in the senate. Senate officers
should not be a ground-breaking experience in student leadership. A
position of such significant stature demands a background of varied
experiences in student government work.
This final word must be included: a Student Senate election should
not be a popularity contest! Be objective when you contemplate your
choices. Serious matters demand intelligent thinking!

by Jim Nelson
Alan Redpath has pointed to a striking truth
that should cause Christian's to re-evaluate their
manner of effort in Christian living. "God expects
nothing of me except failure . . . so that every
demand on me is a demand on His life within me."
In what way do we try to live our Christian
life? What characterizes our effort? How do we
think of ourselves with regard to the good that we
might do in life? What do we count as being good?
Does God also see it as good? These questions,
that on answering, will show the color of our
thinking concerning our view of ourself and our
view of the manner in which God works to make
us righteous.
God regards self-effort on our part as sin be-cause
it centers, at time, supreme attention on the
personal ego. God's view of man's efforts for the
good are utterly abhored when the God is not
looked to as the guiding and empowering principle
of life. We will find that our efforts for good van-ish
before our eyes if the life of perfect Goodness
is not fully operative in us.
We must realize that in redemption Christ re-deemed
our striving and our efforts. The good was
impossible before salvation; but the barrier was
burst at salvation as the power of a new goal, a
new determining and ruling force, a new kingdom
broke through to us. Our striving was changed and
united to Christ's effort, His effort and striving
being one with ours.
What is our general feeling or attitude and
concern as we kneel in prayer? If we do not sense
the rest of eternity in time; if we are not encom-passed
by a power that takes hold of our effort to
please God; we should fall from our position of
ego-effort to a strong sense of God within.
Effort requires power, and God does not regard
our power highly. If you regard your power as
something worthwhile, then re-examine your faith
in God's power. The demands placed on you in life
should not issue or depend on your personal power
to carry them out, for the power of His kingdom
is not grounded there. What God demands only God
can do, for He is God and there is no other like
Him. With this concept an experiential reality
"every demand on you is a demand on God's life
within you."

Expansion and improvement are
two signs of the activity which
has characterized the Bethel band
during the current year. The band
has taken important strides toward
attaining a more meaningful posi-tion
in the campus musical pic-ture.
The band functions in a dual
capacity, performing as both pep
band and concert ensemble. As a
pep band, it has helped to initiate
and maintain school spirit at ath-letic
events. Newly acquired band
sweatshirts identify the band in
its complementary role to the ath-letic
department.
Within the sphere of action as
a concert organization, the band
provides a musical prelude to many
convocations and will have a role
in commencement week activities.
A bold step forward was taken a
month ago with the first out of
town trip for the concert ensemble.
The concert was performed in Du-luth.
On March 16, Cambridge,
Minn. will be the background for
the second of the band's concert
trips.
March 21 is the scheduled date
for The annual campus concert.
In a specially-called session last
Monday night, members of the
student senate moved to take im-mediate
action in support of Min-nesota's
legislative efforts against
discrimination in housing.
Senate president Bruce Leafblad
opened the session by presenting
a condensation of the proposed
measure. He emphasized that stu-dent
interest should be centered
semble is attested by the chosen
selections on the spring program
such as "Raymond Overture" by
Thomas; "Folk Song Suite" by
Williams; "Czech Rhapsody" by
Weinburger; and "The Three
Trumpeters" by Agostini. Repre-senting
the works of two of the
giants in instrumental music, the
band will perform Bach's "Jesu,
Joy of Man's Desiring:" and Beet-in
the civil rights aspect of the
proposal as opposed to problems
raised by specific legislation.
After discussion, the senate
moved to lend its support to fair
housing in Minnesota by alerting
the state legislature to these atti-tudes,
attempting to educate the
constituency and acquainting the
student body of the issue's details
and senate response.
The senate's desire for action
on this matter led to appointing
a committee for the purpose of
sending out material of a general
educational nature to all pastors
of Minnesota Conference churches;
and the cabinet was empowered
to inform the legislature and the
student body.

be made in the student affairs
office.
Applications are also being
accepted for the position of
dorm counselor for the 1961-62
school year. Eligible students
are juniors or seniors in the
college or seminary students.
Four women and six men will
be selected on the basis of ma-turity,
student leadership, and
desire to work with other stu-dents.
Applications must be
picked up in the student affairs

judges chosen by the executive
committee will choose the best
one.
The following criteria will
determine their choise:
1) Characteristic of the true
spirit of Bethel college
2) Tastefulness and appro-priateness.

Barons, Lead
Intramurals
In the feature game of intra-mural
basketball action the Dukes
edged the Barons 48-46. Tight de-fensive
teamwork on both sides
made the game hardfought all the
way. John Holmberg and Don
Mattson led the winners to a first
half 29-23 margin. Bob Clause and
Steve Sparling sparked a second
half rally for the Barons which
fell two points short. Clause with
19, Mattson's 10, Holmberg's nine,
and Sparling and Smith with eight
each led the scoring. The Dukes
maintained their undefeated re-cord
by defeating the Counts.
The surprising Squires posted
two victories; 50-47 over the
Counts, and 75-61 over the Pages.
Curt Hallstrom's 31 and Dean
GuStafson's 35 led the victorious
Squire scorers in the two games.
Dave Cox counted 10, Lynn Davi-son
and Earl Lemon had 31 and
19 respectively, for the Pages.
The Jesters continued their tor-rid
display of offensive power by
whipping the Peasants 92-70. Lyle
Anderson turned in a fine 32 point
performance, Bruce Erickson hit
22, and Stan Nelson rippled the
cords for 18 for the triumphant
Jesters. Jerry Christenson kept
the Peasants in the game with 31
tallies. In another high scoring
battle, the Jesters were nipped by
the Pages 77-76. Bob Reynolds
scored 21, Lynn Davison 20, and
Steve Peterson 15 to top the win-ners
scoring column. Nelson, An-derson,
and Don McKelvey had 18
points apiece for the Jesters.
Sid Duren and his Knights best-ed

Royals Trounce
Pillsbury, 78-50
Bethel pummeled Pillsbury 7840
in conference hardcourt competi-tion.
In gaining momentum for its
traditional head-on Founder's
Week clash with Northwestern,
Bethel submerged the smaller
Pillsbury crew with a second half
display of fireworks. A lack of
all around team support seemed
to be the underlying reason for
the close 34-27 halftime Bethel
lead. Spurred on by the "get
tough" words of assistant coach
Bud Pierce, the Bethel boys un-loaded
heavy artillery and rode
back home with a 28 point triumph.
Truman Turnquist and Jim Ek-blad
teamed up to turn a 5-4 defi-cit
into a 17-6 lead early in the
first half. The Pillsbury snipers
trimmed the margin to 30-22. A
mere five points separated the
teams as Pillsbury's rally reached
a peak just before the half. John
Peterson's long jumper hit home
just as the first half ended.
Within five minutes of the sec-ond
half, the charged-up Royals
had a 46-31 margin. Led by Turn-quist,
Ekblad, and Jan Kolbrek,
the lead increased to a topheavy
75-44 with Roger Olson's three
point hook shot. Ekblad and Turn-quist
with 20 points each, Peter-son
with nine, and Dave Peterman
with 10 were the offensive geneii
for Bethel. Foster led the losers
with 13 points.
and John Holmberg. Halleen has
a nucleus of six starters returning
with Jim Connors and Holmberg
expected to provide the pitching
wizardry.
Having a talented nucleus is
certainly desirable according to
Halleen, but also necessary is a
new group of eager personnel. Any
interested parties are therefore
urged to don their gym shoes and
gloves and to hustle over to prac-tice
in the fieldhouse.
Final summary: solid nucleus,
talented freshmen, optimistic out-look,
and eager enthusiasm equals
good ball club.

Coach Jerry Healy's Bethel cag-ers
conquered Milton 67-49 and
Northwestern (Wis.) 83-6'5 to close
out the Badger-Gopher conference
race with a 10-2 slate. The week-end
trip to the Badger state Feb.
24-25 saw the Royals come up with
some hot second-half shooting and
a tight defense to win both games
going away.
The Royals rebounded surpris-ingly
well from the ill-fated
Founder's Week defeat at the
Northwestern
Tops Bethel
The Bethel Royals met defeat at
the hands of Northwestern college
of Minneapolis. Free throws made
the difference as the final score
was 83-76. The game was played
on Bethel's floor before a packed
fieldhouse of Founder's Week par-ticipants
and avid Northwestern
fans.
A bright spot in the game for
the Royals was the performance
by Truman Turnquist who poured
in 32 points. Bethel was plagued
with unbalanced scoring as only
two other players scored ten or
more points.
Northwestern had four men in
double figures. Stan Amundson
was the big gun for them hitting
a total of 26 points to lead North-western
to their victory.
The game was decided in the
first half as the Eagles gained an
early lead and maintained it
throughout the game. They man-aged
to squelch any scoring spurt
that Bethel could start by a fine
offensive and defensive job.
Despite these problems, the Roy-als
fought hard and did not give
up even when the scoreboard and
timeclock made it virtually im-possible
for them to win. They still
did not give up until the final
buzzer rang.
This was the second conference
tilt for them this season. The final
score, again, 83-76, Northwestern
over Bethel.

hands of Northwestern of Minnea-polis
to defeat a strong Milton
squad Friday afternoon. Bethel
started slowly and left the court
at the intermission with a slim
29-25 margin. They began to crack
the whip with a sharp fast break
as the second half started, how-ever,
which made a shambles of
Milton's zone defense and allowed
the visitors to pile up 38 points in
the final twenty minutes of action.
The race-horse offense and a
sticky defense made a fine com-bination
as Milton could manage
only 24 points in the second half
for the Royal's final 67-49 margin.
The defense was again led by
Dave Peterman and Lee Bajun-iemi,
although each of the six
Royals who played certainly con-tributed
their share as the final
score clearly indicates. John Peter-son
led the rebounding against
the home team's 6'4" Ken Ganser
and 6'3" Roger Fenrick.
Reliable Truman Turnquist again
led Bethel's offense with a total
of 25 points. The majority of his
ten baskets were scored on his
favorite medium-range jump shot
while he rounded out his total
with five of five free throws.
John Peterson followed Turn-quist
in the scoring with 14 points.
Jim Ekblad was held scoreless in
the first half, but the big center
contributed five buckets to the
second half surge and he finished
with 10 points. Bajuniemi and
Peterman scored eight and six
points respectively, while Jan Kol-brek
had one basket to round out
the scoring. Fenrick led the losers
with 17 points.
N. W. (Wis.) Falls
Saturday night at Watertown,
Wis., the Royals poured on the
pressure for an 83-65 victory at
the expense of Northwestern's
hot-and-cold squad. This was
Bethel's fourth game within a six-day
stretch, and the fine condition
of the squad was clearly shown
as the Royals penetrated North-western's
man-to-man defense time
and again. Both teams shot ex-tremely
well (Bethel was charted
at 58% for the first half) but
again the Royals won easily.
Turnquist again led the offen-sive
thrust with 26 points. The
Grasston, Minn., senior's final
game was a typical performance
as he poured in eight buckets and
10 of 11 free tosses. This gave him
a 51-point total for the weekend,
including 15 of 16 free throws.
Lee Bajuniemi and Dave Peter-man,
Bethel's terrible two-some
at the guard posts, each played
their usual fine game. Bajuniemi
hit eight baskets while Peterman
added five. Each converted three
free throws in as many attempts
giving Bajuniemi a grand total of
17 points while Peterman finished
with 13. John Peterson rebounded
well and also contributed 13 points
to the winning total. Ekblad added
eight points and Jan Kolbrek six
to complete the scoring.

Stars Judy E. Carlson
P. E. Week
Begins Monday
National as well as campus poli-tics
will be the main topic of con-versation
during the week of
March 13-17, Political Emphasis
week. Opportunities will be afford-ed
the students of Bethel to par-ticipate
directly in political acti-vities
on the campus.
The first activity is a presenta-tion
of the candidates in the chapel
on Monday. On Monday evening,
the senate will meet. Bruce Leaf-blad,
senate president, encourages
all students to attend. On Tuesday,
national politics will be especially
emphasized. The topic of The
Forum in the evening will be
on liberalism vs. conservatism.
Thursday evening, candidate's
speeches will be given at a rally
in the fieldhouse and the Royal
Realist and Independent party
platforms presented. The election
will be held on Friday and the
student senate urges all to vote.
John Carlson, vice-president of
the senate, stated that he is in-vestigating
the possibility of us-ing
voting machines for the elec-tion
as an educational measure.
Seminary Sends
Delegates to
Interseminary
Movement
On Nov. 25-26, seminary stu-dents
Bill MacKinney and John
Hoeldtke represented Bethel sem-inary
at a meeting of the Midwest
Region Interseminary movement
held at the National Methodist
Theological seminary in Kansas
City.
This movement, which is part
of a National Seminary movement,
is a movement of students and
faculty sponsored by the Inter-seminary
committee of the Nation-al
Student Christian federation. Its
purpose, as stated in the constitu-tion,
is "to provide opportunity
for students and faculty of Chris-tian
theological seminaries to (dis-cuss)
matters of mutual interest
in order to pursue the full mis-sion
of the Church of Jesus Christ
and to seek greater unity in this
world mission."
The theme at the Kansas City
meeting was "The Ministry of the
Church in Modern Society." At
this time also, a constitution was
adopted.
At the most recent meeting, held
March 3-5 in Chicago, the theme
was "The Ministry-Livelihood or
Servitude ? "
Meetings of the I. M. are held
three times annually and are at-tended
by both the members and
observers. At present, the semin-ary
at Bethel does not have a
membership in it but is consider-ing
such for the future.
Launching an original effort in
the area of planned and informal
discussion of current interests in
social, political, educational, and
religious life, the student senate
has initiated THE FORUM. This
series of evening gatherings is de-signed
to promote greater inter-action
between students and fac-ulty.
To be considered on Tuesday
night during Political Emphasis
week is the topic of "Conserva-tism
and Liberalism in Politics."
Expressing views on alternate
sides of the proposition will be
Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom and Mr.
Marvin Anderson, both of the de-partment
of history and political
science.
Other topics that will be exam-ined
in the scheduled programs
are "Moral Disarmament" discus-sed
by the Rev. Curtis Crawford,
national known pacifist who is
currently on a lecture tour (March
23); "Archeology and the Old
Testament" by Dr. Anton Pearson
(April 4); a book review of Back-grounds
to Dispensationalism by
the author, Dr. Clarence Bass
(April 13); "Art and Religious
Symbolism" presented by Mr. Eu-gene
Johnson and Mr. Robert Nel-son
(April 20); "A Christian View
of Missions" led by Mr. Claude
Stipe (April 27).

The simple, frank observations
and inner thoughts of a school-girl
who confided in her diary
over a period of two years have
resulted in her becoming not only
the heroine of one of the most
brilliantly successful plays of the
last twenty years, but also in be-coming
an international symbol of
tolerance and understanding be-tween
people.
This play, The Diary of Anne
Frank by Frances Goodrich and
Albert Hackett is based on the
real diary a Jewish girl kept while
she was hiding out with her fam-ily
from the Nazis in Holland dur-ing
World War II, the play not
only has had a phenominal success
in New York and all over Amer-ica,
but also throughout the world.
In Germany itself the play
created sensational interest when
first presented there in 1957. That
the sweet and sunnily-disposition-ed
girl of the play blithely hiding
from imminent arrest and death
at the hands of the Nazis, was
actually arrested at the end of
two years of seclusion, and then
died in a concentration camp just
a few weeks before the Allied
Anne Frank, played by Judy E.
Carlson, gives her father, John
Quam, a big hug as he gives her
the famous diary.
Armies liberated that part of Ger-many,
seemed a personal accusa-tion
to thronging German audien-ces
who were so stunned at the
end of each performance that they
forgot to applaud.
In consequence the dramatization
of her diary became the most
popular play in the history of the
German stage. To see it, became
for many Germans a ceremonial of
penitence and confession—a point
of national remorse. The diary of
the young Jewish girl has also
been read in book form and is very
well liked.
Judy E. Carlson heads the cast
in the role of Anne. Supporting
her will be John Quam as Mr.
Frank; Sandra Entz, Mrs. Frank;
Ann Embry, Margot Frank; Rich
Nelson, Peter Van Daan; Arnold
Doerksen, Mr. Van Daan; Carole
Lundquist, Mrs. Van Daan; Nor-man
Rediger, Mr. Dussel; Deme-ter
Filuk, Mr. Kraler; Peggy
Leunk, Miep. Richard Curtis, as-sociate
professor of speech, is ad-visor
of the group and Mary Lou
Wick is in charge of the play.
The Royal Players are present-ing•
the play on March 10 and 11
at 8 p.m. at the fieldhouse. Admis-sion
costs are students, $.50; gen-eral,
$1; children under 12, $.50;
and groups (ten or more), $.50
apiece.

We the Students . . . 1 or Should the
Constitution Read 'We the Few'?
by James Spickelmier
"We, the students .. . recogniz-ing
the importance of co-curricu-lar
activities as an aspect of our
educational experience, do hereby
join ourselves together and estab-lish
this association for the pur-pose
of promoting better co-ordi-nation
of these activities, and a
closer relationship between the
student body and the administra-tion
and faculty."
This is the beginning of the
preamble to our Bethel student
association constitution, "We, the
students . . ." As a campus and
as a student government, we are
too often guilty of rewriting the
preamble to read; "We, the few
. .." Our senate works throughout
the year on issues of importance
to the entire student body, with-out
many on our campus realizing
that there is a functioning stu-dent
government. As a campus
body, we should be aware of the
activities of the student senate.
The last senate meeting was
held Feb. 27, in the faculty lounge.
One of the items of more general
interest was the report on the
fieldhouse curtain project. The
junior, sophomore, and freshman
class presidents reported that their
classes had voted to divide the
remaining cost ($119) for the
fieldhouse curtain. Through the
cooperation of these classes, Home-coming
profits, and the senior class
gift, a curtain will be installed in
the fieldhouse this spring, to pro-vide
more adequate facilities for
convocations, graduation, concerts,
and drama productions.
The senate set up a committee
to deal with the very practical
problem of student parking. An in-crease
in the number of cars on
campus, coupled with our limited
parking facilities, has brought the
problem of traffic control to the
attention of the administration and
the senate. Will it be necessary
to limit the number of cars on
campus? Feeling that the students
should have a voice in traffic regu-lation,
a senate committee was set
up to seek possible solutions.
Peggy Leunk from the Spire
staff has been working with the
student senate in trying to obtain
better student pictures for next
year. The senate and the Spire
are interested in improving the
quality of the pictures, while still
retaining reasonable prices.
Unsatisfied with limiting their
efforts to the present, practical
questions, the senate has attempt-ed
to plan for the future also. Two
items in the last meeting will have
important significance in years to
come.
First, the senate is going
through an active program of self-evaluation.
There is a desire that
student government might repre-sent
the students in the most ac-curate,
efficient way. The basic
areas of concern are stated in the
motion beginning official consid-eration
of senate reorganization.
These areas are as follows: "1.
How to improve the function of
student government on campus. 2.
How to broaden the base of repre-sentation.
3. How to unify the
direction of the educational pur-poses."
A discussion with Gary Cook,
the architect working with Bethel's
expansion program, was the clos-ing
item of business.
"We, the students . . ." Is our
student body aware of the activi-ties
of student government? Are
they interested in becoming a-ware?
Perhaps we need to change
our mottos from "apathetic" to
"energetic," and "conformed" to
"informed."
An open invitation is extended
to all students to sit in on senate
meetings. The next meeting is
scheduled for March 13.
'God Expects Nothing . . . Every Demand
On Me is A Demand On His Life in Me'
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
ON 1-`? GLUE GIVE YOU I5 THAT IT CAME
FROM 11-15 CAFET5IZIA."
Editorial:
Are Students Blind to
The 3 % Interest Rate?
Are students being deceived by the interest rate on loans being
contracted in the student affairs office or are they all intelligent
enough to read the "fine print" and ask enough questions to discover
what the interest rate really is ?
When a Bethel student receives a $300 loan in Feb. he signs a
promissory note agreeing to pay the loan plus a three per cent per
anum interest rate and a three dollar service charge by the due date
of Aug. 1. There is nothing upsetting about this except that three
per cent per anum on a six month loan immediately becomes six per
cent plus the three dollar service charge equals eight per cent of the
loan.
It seems that in a school such as Bethel, matters such as this
should be made obvious to the student body. Why not tell the students
what the Bethel rate really is ?
What Kind of Leadership Does
Bethel Need--Popular or Responsible?
One week from tomorrow the members of the Bethel Student assoc-iation
will go to the polls and cast their votes for the candidates whom
they wish to give the responsibility of leading our student governmnent
in the coming year. Perhaps it would be well for all of us to once again
consider the qualities of true leaders, or better yet—what kind of
leadership does Bethel need ?
Bethel needs student leaders who are concerned that all we do is
centered in Jesus Christ. Someone once said that for the Christian all
things in life take on value and meaning only as they relate to the king-dom
of God. A good student leader senses the constant need to evaluate
in light of this standard and to strive to make all of our programs,
activities, and the like truly Christian.
Bethel needs mature leaders. There is no place for goof-offs, anti-intellectuals,
pseudo-intellectuals, mere office-seekers, or any other
type of immature people in student government. The Bethel Student
association deserves the finest in social, intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual maturity in its leaders.
Bethel needs student leaders who desire to be servants. Student
government is no place for people who are not willing to give hours of
time, thought, and energy in the service of the student body. A good
student leader wants to serve his fellows—even to the point of per-sonal
sacrifice.
Bethel needs able leaders. Ability to lead meetings, express ideas
clearly, think through problems thoroughly and objectively, work close-ly
with people, delegate responsibilities to others, and sense student
needs and problems are among requirements of able leaders.
Bethel needs experienced leaders in the senate. Senate officers
should not be a ground-breaking experience in student leadership. A
position of such significant stature demands a background of varied
experiences in student government work.
This final word must be included: a Student Senate election should
not be a popularity contest! Be objective when you contemplate your
choices. Serious matters demand intelligent thinking!

Alan Redpath has pointed to a striking truth
that should cause Christian's to re-evaluate their
manner of effort in Christian living. "God expects
nothing of me except failure . . . so that every
demand on me is a demand on His life within me."
In what way do we try to live our Christian
life? What characterizes our effort? How do we
think of ourselves with regard to the good that we
might do in life? What do we count as being good?
Does God also see it as good? These questions,
that on answering, will show the color of our
thinking concerning our view of ourself and our
view of the manner in which God works to make
us righteous.
God regards self-effort on our part as sin be-cause
it centers, at time, supreme attention on the
personal ego. God's view of man's efforts for the
good are utterly abhored when the God is not
looked to as the guiding and empowering principle
of life. We will find that our efforts for good van-ish
before our eyes if the life of perfect Goodness
is not fully operative in us.
We must realize that in redemption Christ re-deemed
our striving and our efforts. The good was
impossible before salvation; but the barrier was
burst at salvation as the power of a new goal, a
new determining and ruling force, a new kingdom
broke through to us. Our striving was changed and
united to Christ's effort, His effort and striving
being one with ours.
What is our general feeling or attitude and
concern as we kneel in prayer? If we do not sense
the rest of eternity in time; if we are not encom-passed
by a power that takes hold of our effort to
please God; we should fall from our position of
ego-effort to a strong sense of God within.
Effort requires power, and God does not regard
our power highly. If you regard your power as
something worthwhile, then re-examine your faith
in God's power. The demands placed on you in life
should not issue or depend on your personal power
to carry them out, for the power of His kingdom
is not grounded there. What God demands only God
can do, for He is God and there is no other like
Him. With this concept an experiential reality
"every demand on you is a demand on God's life
within you."

Expansion and improvement are
two signs of the activity which
has characterized the Bethel band
during the current year. The band
has taken important strides toward
attaining a more meaningful posi-tion
in the campus musical pic-ture.
The band functions in a dual
capacity, performing as both pep
band and concert ensemble. As a
pep band, it has helped to initiate
and maintain school spirit at ath-letic
events. Newly acquired band
sweatshirts identify the band in
its complementary role to the ath-letic
department.
Within the sphere of action as
a concert organization, the band
provides a musical prelude to many
convocations and will have a role
in commencement week activities.
A bold step forward was taken a
month ago with the first out of
town trip for the concert ensemble.
The concert was performed in Du-luth.
On March 16, Cambridge,
Minn. will be the background for
the second of the band's concert
trips.
March 21 is the scheduled date
for The annual campus concert.
In a specially-called session last
Monday night, members of the
student senate moved to take im-mediate
action in support of Min-nesota's
legislative efforts against
discrimination in housing.
Senate president Bruce Leafblad
opened the session by presenting
a condensation of the proposed
measure. He emphasized that stu-dent
interest should be centered
semble is attested by the chosen
selections on the spring program
such as "Raymond Overture" by
Thomas; "Folk Song Suite" by
Williams; "Czech Rhapsody" by
Weinburger; and "The Three
Trumpeters" by Agostini. Repre-senting
the works of two of the
giants in instrumental music, the
band will perform Bach's "Jesu,
Joy of Man's Desiring:" and Beet-in
the civil rights aspect of the
proposal as opposed to problems
raised by specific legislation.
After discussion, the senate
moved to lend its support to fair
housing in Minnesota by alerting
the state legislature to these atti-tudes,
attempting to educate the
constituency and acquainting the
student body of the issue's details
and senate response.
The senate's desire for action
on this matter led to appointing
a committee for the purpose of
sending out material of a general
educational nature to all pastors
of Minnesota Conference churches;
and the cabinet was empowered
to inform the legislature and the
student body.

Dukes Edge
Barons, Lead
Intramurals
In the feature game of intra-mural
basketball action the Dukes
edged the Barons 48-46. Tight de-fensive
teamwork on both sides
made the game hardfought all the
way. John Holmberg and Don
Mattson led the winners to a first
half 29-23 margin. Bob Clause and
Steve Sparling sparked a second
half rally for the Barons which
fell two points short. Clause with
19, Mattson's 10, Holmberg's nine,
and Sparling and Smith with eight
each led the scoring. The Dukes
maintained their undefeated re-cord
by defeating the Counts.
The surprising Squires posted

GuStafson's 35 led the victorious
Squire scorers in the two games.
Dave Cox counted 10, Lynn Davi-son
and Earl Lemon had 31 and
19 respectively, for the Pages.
The Jesters continued their tor-rid
display of offensive power by
whipping the Peasants 92-70. Lyle
Anderson turned in a fine 32 point
performance, Bruce Erickson hit
22, and Stan Nelson rippled the
cords for 18 for the triumphant
Jesters. Jerry Christenson kept
the Peasants in the game with 31
tallies. In another high scoring
battle, the Jesters were nipped by
the Pages 77-76. Bob Reynolds
scored 21, Lynn Davison 20, and
Steve Peterson 15 to top the win-ners
scoring column. Nelson, An-derson,
and Don McKelvey had 18
points apiece for the Jesters.

Royals Trounce
Pillsbury, 78-50
Bethel pummeled Pillsbury 7840
in conference hardcourt competi-tion.
In gaining momentum for its
traditional head-on Founder's
Week clash with Northwestern,
Bethel submerged the smaller
Pillsbury crew with a second half
display of fireworks. A lack of
all around team support seemed
to be the underlying reason for
the close 34-27 halftime Bethel
lead. Spurred on by the "get
tough" words of assistant coach
Bud Pierce, the Bethel boys un-loaded
heavy artillery and rode
back home with a 28 point triumph.
Truman Turnquist and Jim Ek-blad
teamed up to turn a 5-4 defi-cit
into a 17-6 lead early in the
first half. The Pillsbury snipers
trimmed the margin to 30-22. A
mere five points separated the
teams as Pillsbury's rally reached
a peak just before the half. John
Peterson's long jumper hit home
just as the first half ended.
Within five minutes of the sec-ond
half, the charged-up Royals
had a 46-31 margin. Led by Turn-quist,
Ekblad, and Jan Kolbrek,
the lead increased to a topheavy
75-44 with Roger Olson's three
point hook shot. Ekblad and Turn-quist
with 20 points each, Peter-son
with nine, and Dave Peterman
with 10 were the offensive geneii
for Bethel. Foster led the losers
with 13 points.
and John Holmberg. Halleen has
a nucleus of six starters returning
with Jim Connors and Holmberg
expected to provide the pitching
wizardry.
Having a talented nucleus is
certainly desirable according to
Halleen, but also necessary is a
new group of eager personnel. Any
interested parties are therefore
urged to don their gym shoes and
gloves and to hustle over to prac-tice
in the fieldhouse.
Final summary: solid nucleus,
talented freshmen, optimistic out-look,
and eager enthusiasm equals
good ball club.

Coach Jerry Healy's Bethel cag-ers
conquered Milton 67-49 and
Northwestern (Wis.) 83-6'5 to close
out the Badger-Gopher conference
race with a 10-2 slate. The week-end
trip to the Badger state Feb.
24-25 saw the Royals come up with
some hot second-half shooting and
a tight defense to win both games
going away.
The Royals rebounded surpris-ingly
well from the ill-fated
Founder's Week defeat at the
Northwestern
Tops Bethel
The Bethel Royals met defeat at
the hands of Northwestern college
of Minneapolis. Free throws made
the difference as the final score
was 83-76. The game was played
on Bethel's floor before a packed
fieldhouse of Founder's Week par-ticipants
and avid Northwestern
fans.
A bright spot in the game for
the Royals was the performance
by Truman Turnquist who poured
in 32 points. Bethel was plagued
with unbalanced scoring as only
two other players scored ten or
more points.
Northwestern had four men in
double figures. Stan Amundson
was the big gun for them hitting
a total of 26 points to lead North-western
to their victory.
The game was decided in the
first half as the Eagles gained an
early lead and maintained it
throughout the game. They man-aged
to squelch any scoring spurt
that Bethel could start by a fine
offensive and defensive job.
Despite these problems, the Roy-als
fought hard and did not give
up even when the scoreboard and
timeclock made it virtually im-possible
for them to win. They still
did not give up until the final
buzzer rang.
This was the second conference
tilt for them this season. The final
score, again, 83-76, Northwestern
over Bethel.

hands of Northwestern of Minnea-polis
to defeat a strong Milton
squad Friday afternoon. Bethel
started slowly and left the court
at the intermission with a slim
29-25 margin. They began to crack
the whip with a sharp fast break
as the second half started, how-ever,
which made a shambles of
Milton's zone defense and allowed
the visitors to pile up 38 points in
the final twenty minutes of action.
The race-horse offense and a
sticky defense made a fine com-bination
as Milton could manage
only 24 points in the second half
for the Royal's final 67-49 margin.
The defense was again led by
Dave Peterman and Lee Bajun-iemi,
although each of the six
Royals who played certainly con-tributed
their share as the final
score clearly indicates. John Peter-son
led the rebounding against
the home team's 6'4" Ken Ganser
and 6'3" Roger Fenrick.
Reliable Truman Turnquist again
led Bethel's offense with a total
of 25 points. The majority of his
ten baskets were scored on his
favorite medium-range jump shot
while he rounded out his total
with five of five free throws.
John Peterson followed Turn-quist
in the scoring with 14 points.
Jim Ekblad was held scoreless in
the first half, but the big center
contributed five buckets to the
second half surge and he finished
with 10 points. Bajuniemi and
Peterman scored eight and six
points respectively, while Jan Kol-brek
had one basket to round out
the scoring. Fenrick led the losers
with 17 points.
N. W. (Wis.) Falls
Saturday night at Watertown,
Wis., the Royals poured on the
pressure for an 83-65 victory at
the expense of Northwestern's
hot-and-cold squad. This was
Bethel's fourth game within a six-day
stretch, and the fine condition
of the squad was clearly shown
as the Royals penetrated North-western's
man-to-man defense time
and again. Both teams shot ex-tremely
well (Bethel was charted
at 58% for the first half) but
again the Royals won easily.
Turnquist again led the offen-sive
thrust with 26 points. The
Grasston, Minn., senior's final
game was a typical performance
as he poured in eight buckets and
10 of 11 free tosses. This gave him
a 51-point total for the weekend,
including 15 of 16 free throws.
Lee Bajuniemi and Dave Peter-man,
Bethel's terrible two-some
at the guard posts, each played
their usual fine game. Bajuniemi
hit eight baskets while Peterman
added five. Each converted three
free throws in as many attempts
giving Bajuniemi a grand total of
17 points while Peterman finished
with 13. John Peterson rebounded
well and also contributed 13 points
to the winning total. Ekblad added
eight points and Jan Kolbrek six
to complete the scoring.
